"Battle Hymn of the Republican" Parody by Michael
Pacholek
The State of our Union is limbo!
Mine eyes have seen that Georgie is a man out of his
gourd.
He is sending out his minions with their crates of
crap on board.
He has loosed the fateful lightning of the deficit's
swift sword.
The truth is long, long gone.
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
The truth is long, long gone.
He taxes on the many to enrich the privileged few.
He has said his rich man's tax cut would benefit me
and you.
It's just one of many things he's said that's way too
far from true.
The truth is long, long gone.
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
The truth is long, long gone.
He has told us our security was threatened by Iraq.
Weapons of the mass destruction, that's why we were on
attack.
But they ain't been found and five hundred men aren't
coming back.
The truth is long, long gone.
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
The truth is long, long gone.
When he ran he said, "Compassionate conservtive's my
tune!"
Since the Court installed him, he's been acting like a
right-wing goon.
With the policies he's pushing, he's already on the
Moon!
The truth is long, long gone.
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
The truth is long, long gone.
George Washington would tell him, "You've deceived the
U.S.A.!"
Ronald Reagan would say, "Well, that's not the
conservative way."
And Abe Lincoln would suggest to him, "Hey, George, go
see a play!";
The truth is long, long gone.
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
Georgie, Georgie, tell him, "Boo-ya!"
The truth is long, long gone.
One year to go. January 20, 2005: Honor and integrity
restored to the White House!

Battle Hymn of the Republicans
Written by wdharry99
(to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic)
Mine eyes have seen the bungling of that stumbling
moron Bush;
He has blathered all the drivel that the neo-cons can
push;
He has lost sight of all reason 'cause his head is up
his tush;
The Doofus marches on.
I have heard him butcher syntax like a kindergarten
fool;
There is warranted suspicion that he never went to
school;
Should we fault him for the policies--or is he just
their tool?
The lies keep piling on.
Glory! Glory! How he'll screw ya!
Glory! Glory! How he'll screw ya!
Glory! Glory! How he'll screw ya!
His wreckage will live on.
I have seen him cut the taxes of the billionaires'
lone heir;
As he spends another zillion on an aircraft carrier;
Let the smokestacks keep polluting--do we really need
clean air?
The surplus is now gone.
Glory! Glory! How he'll screw ya!
Glory! Glory! How he'll screw ya!
Glory! Glory! How he'll screw ya!
Your safety net is gone!
Now he's got a mighty hankerin' to bomb a prostrate
state;
Though the whole world knows its crazy--and the U.N.
says to wait;
When he doesn't have the evidence, "We must
prevaricate."
Diplomacy is done!
Oh, a trumped-up war is excellent; we have no moral
bounds;
Should the reasons be disputed, we'll just make up
other grounds;
Enraging several billions--to his brainlessness
redounds;
The Doofus marches on!
Glory! Glory! How he'll screw ya!
Glory! Glory! How he'll screw ya!
Glory! Glory! How he'll screw ya!
THIS...DOO...FUS...MAR...CHES...ON

; "The Battle Hymn of the Republican"
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the war
It brings more military contracts and the drafting of
the poor
It lets us build our pipelines so the profits are much
more
The truth is trampled on
Glory! Glory! Halliburton!
Glory! Glory! Halliburton!
Glory! Glory! Halliburton!
The truth is trampled on.
The prisoners that we've tortured and whose rights we
snatch away
Are just trivial details when there's oil on the way
And let everyone go and buy an S-U-V today
The truth is trampled on
Glory! Glory! Halliburton!
Glory! Glory! Halliburton!
Glory! Glory! Halliburton!
The truth is trampled on.
We will lie and we will cheat and we will generally
deceive
Tales of W-M-D and propaganda we will weave
We will hold Iraqi oil fields and never ever leave
The truth is trampled on
Glory! Glory! Halliburton!
Glory! Glory! Halliburton!
Glory! Glory! Halliburton!
The truth is trampled on.
Environment and education matter not at all
If asked some questions without answers we can always
stall
'Cause we spin the news releases and the people are in
thrall
The truth is trampled on
Glory! Glory! Halliburton!
Glory! Glory! Halliburton!
Glory! Glory! Halliburton!
The truth is trampled on.
The old, the poor, the blacks and women we can still
control
Give 'em something with the left hand while the right
hand takes the toll
Don't stop now and don't look back because we're
really on a roll
The truth is trampled on
Glory! Glory! Halliburton!
Glory! Glory! Halliburton!
Glory! Glory! Halliburton!
The truth is trampled on.
And now that it's election time we've got some work to
do
John Kerry must be seen to be a liar through and
through
And never can the people see just how they have been
screwed
The truth is trampled on
Glory! Glory! Halliburton!
Glory! Glory! Halliburton!
Glory! Glory! Halliburton!
The truth is trampled on.
